DERBY, 11th July 2024 — Node4, a cloud-led digital transformation Managed Services Provider (MSP), announces a substantial investment in Copilot for Microsoft 365, the next-generation AI assistant. With over 1,100 seats purchased, this strategic move underscores Node4’s commitment to innovation and operational excellence, further strengthening its longstanding collaboration with Microsoft.
Node4 worked closely with Microsoft to maximise the opportunity the technology provides. Microsoft shared resources and expertise which enabled the company to learn firsthand about Copilot rollout and integration, providing a significant head start and real-world advantage when implementing AI internally and for clients.
Node4 aims to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and empower its workforce to focus on higher-value tasks with Copilot for Microsoft 365. All while providing clients with innovative solutions that deliver exceptional service, improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, and drive business growth. In one example, Copilot already supports Node4’s development team and is projected to increase departmental efficiency by up to 80%. Longer term, Node4 is also exploring how Copilot could help create improved and automated end-to-end ERP workflow management solutions for clients.
Hannah Birch, Managing Director of Node4, comments: “Our investment in Copilot for Microsoft 365 demonstrates our commitment to staying at the cutting edge of technology. By integrating Copilot into our operations, we are improving our internal processes and setting a standard for the solutions we deliver to our clients. This move reinforces our dedication to providing unparalleled service and support as we continue to evolve in the digital age.”
Richard Ellis, Small, Medium and Corporate Lead, Microsoft UK, adds: Node4’s investment in Copilot for Microsoft 365 exemplifies the forward-thinking approach needed to drive digital transformation and innovation. Its commitment to integrating AI to enhance productivity and efficiency not only strengthens its operations but will also enhance its ability to deliver exceptional service to clients. We are thrilled to see the positive impact this will have for Node4 as they leverage Microsoft technology for strategic growth.”
Mark Skelton, Chief Technology & Strategy Officer at Node4, concludes: “Copilot’s capabilities support our goals to harness AI and create an AI-rich culture across the business. They also align perfectly with our strategic vision to lead in digital transformation and cloud services. Going forward, I believe Copilot will enable Node4 to maintain its position at the forefront of the digital services industry, allowing our business to scale and deliver exceptional services to our clients.”
